Big Business is Big Brother in Brunoland

In an interview at Comixpedia, Chris Baldwin recounts an early experience of corporate oppression:

My parents worked for a tofu factory back in the late seventies, and in the company newsletter I began doing comic strips about the evils of tofu, because I loathed the stuff so much (and my parents could bring home as much as they'd like for free). The company got bought out and the new larger corporate policy was to not put down its products to its own employees, even in jest. And so I mostly just doodled until 6th grade.

O the evils of bigger fish monopolism! Crushing a poor child's cartooning dreams! No wonder Bruno is so bitter.

But seriously, it's a good interview. Go. Read.
